  • Catalogue Essay

    The Royal Oak Survivor can be considered as one of the more interesting pieces launched in the past couple of decades. Introduced in 2008 during the global financial crisis, it was controversial due to the design and purpose of the watch. Produced in a limited quantity of 1000 pieces, the watch is somewhat a statement made by the firm that regardless of the current economic situation, Audemars Piguet will still deliver and will still continue to strive and create intriguing pieces.

    With further enhanced aesthetics and oversized pusher guards, the watch is hard to miss. Moreover, the watch is completely blacked out and looks like a timepiece a special ops officer would wear. The present piece is offered in overall excellent condition and is accompanied by the full set of accessories that came with the watch when it was purchased by the original owner.

  • Artist Biography

    Audemars Piguet

    Swiss • 1881

    A specialist in the manufacture of complications since it was established in 1881, Audemars Piguet never ceases to impress with a rich history of creating bold, even audacious, timepieces underpinned by traditional watchmaking at its finest. This Le Brassus-based Swiss manufacturer is one of only two major manufacturers still owned by the founding family. Since its earliest days, AP is considered a leader in the field of minute repeaters and grande complication pocket and wristwatches. The brand is devoted to preserving the history of watchmaking in the Vallée de Joux, showcased at their superb museum in Le Brassus.

    Today, the brand is best known for its Royal Oak models, a revolutionary luxury sports watch launched in 1972. Other key models include early minute repeating wristwatches, vintage chronograph wristwatches, such as the oversized reference 5020, perpetual calendar watches and the Royal Oak Offshore, first introduced in 1993.
